    V-MODA Revolver?

    So...another year goes by...   Any updates on the release date of the V-Moda Revolver?   I'm on the fence about getting a refurb M-100 for $180. I just got the XS today, and I'm loving the lighter bass and cliqfold headband. If the Revolver came out with similar updates anytime in the next 6...

    Enabling analogue line out on Macbook Pro (retina)

    This is a bit of a niche question, but I'll shoot.   I recently acquired a Macbook Pro Retina.   On the specs page (http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs/), under "audio", it states:   Support for audio line out (digital/analog)   Image: http://i.imgur.com/Equbn.png    ...

    Travel Case for AKG K550 (and high quality cable turtle)

    Tdpeek3 - That looks really good, actually. And the listing makes it sound pretty durable as well. It looks a little big though, how does it work out for you in your day-to-day life?   Thanks for the great recommendation Ricerocket!   I've decided to forgo cable turtles and just get them...

    Where can I get my K550s reterminated?

    Thanks for the recommendation. I've sent them a message. Head-Fi user Soundstige also offered to perform the service. I'm looking into both options currently.

    WHICH AMP TO BUY?!

    Do you want to be able to use them outside? If so, the Pro 900s are the only real choice there. The Denons have very little isolation and the AKGs have a very long cord. But if they're to be home headphones, it comes down to comfort and sound signature. I haven't tried the Ultrasones, but FWIR...

    WHICH AMP TO BUY?!

    I'd recommend the Headstage Arrow. Real slim design, great feature set, and you really don't need the added power you'd get with a bulkier amp, as the W3s are ridiculously sensitive. The EQ functions are nice to have, and probably sound a good deal better, in terms of basic bass boost, treble...

    Where can I get my K550s reterminated?

    I love my K550s. The sound is, to my ears, pretty amazing. But with their sensitivity, durability, and looks, I'd love to use them outside as well as indoors. However, the cable is something like 3 meters, which makes it very awkward to use them out and about. My search for portable circumaural...

    Just got an iPhone, looking for free, high quality streaming radio for listening over wifi. The higher the bitrate, the better: 256 Kbps and up. Also looking for a free app to organize said streams.

    Travel Case for AKG K550 (and high quality cable turtle)

    Thanks for your responses!   inobobo - I think I would be too worried about the effects of the cable bending at such sharp angles. My M50 cable stopped transmitting both channels after months of use. I think I'm looking for something more like...

    Travel Case for AKG K550 (and high quality cable turtle)

    Hey there.   I just bought the K550 headphones on Amazon. Now I'm looking for a travel case that would fit the headphones and protect them, mostly for carrying them around in a backpack.   Also, any suggestions for a small cable manager would be appreciated. 3 meters is a bit long for...

    beyerdynamic T5p: Photos and first impressions.

    I'm sure I'll enjoy the bass, but for things like playing video games or certain kinds of electronic music, I'd like a sound more like a subwoofer  on medium volume.   My sources are an iPhone 4S and Macbook Pro. I know there's a ton of EQ apps for the iPhone, but I'd rather have my sound...
